Roma Insieme

- Mr. Jehn (the staff who handed us our keys) was extremely helpful, kind and was easy to contact. He let us check in 2 hours earlier at 10 AM instead of 12 cause we arrived early, provided our request for extra towels and cutlery, and constantly checked if we needed anything. :-) - We had a room with balcony and the buses went straight from out front door.# - The metro was only about 6-8ish min walk and there are mini markets and a tabacco store next door.

- The floor wasn't properly cleaned when we arrived (there were fake eyelashes from previous guests left sticking on the floor), - and there's neither a shared kitchen nor basic cutlery to our disappointment for us to prepare for our breakfast or even just prepare basic coffee or tea. - the view wasn't all that great: the room with balcony was facing a mountain of trash on the parking lot. - the toilet is old & quite loud.

Nice neighbourhood, well connected by public transport, but tricky because of the big roads around the neighbourhood. Still, the walk towards the Vatican is nice. The room was nice.

The concrete bloks to step into or down the shower.

The man who greeted us was pleasant and if we saw him he always checked to see if we needed anything. The size of the room was great, didn't feel cramped, and very simply furnished, with a fridge and desk. For the purpose of our trip it was quite suitable overall.

Multiple issues made the experience less satisfactory. Although we paid regular price - we found that the shower had a vigorous leak, I had to ask for some more towels to stop the whole floor getting flooded. It seems like a previous attempt was already made, but this is something they should fix ASAP. Also the cold side of the sink tap didn't work, only the warm side. The room and particularly shower/bathroom were a bit shabby (particularly the shower could benefit from some refurbishment). Although the accommodation is on the cheaper side for budget, it still felt overpriced for what it was. I stayed in much nicer places for cheaper not just elsewhere but also in Rome too. The location also isn't particularly ideal, though getting around the city generally is quite difficult so it takes you a while wherever you're staying. Also - there were some important things I needed to do on the computer, however the WIFI was so bad it was virtually unusable. No nearby places that were suitable, so wasn't ideal. There was a kettle in the corridor but no mugs so we could not make any tea. Although it was nice to have a balcony - the room faces a main road and is very noisy from all of the passing traffic. I would not recommend staying here if you're a light sleeper. This isn't to put people off and I know this can't really be helped much (so no fault of the staff), but this should be considered when booking.
